just for the sake of argument, the thing oakland does have going for itself is their D. that's a pretty solid core group of players.

no its there smart DC that is putting them in the right places in term of scheme.

Players are more important than plays. Always.

Also, the Cardinals job should be one of the most coveted. It's a team with a ton of young talent, plus the new stadium will bring in ridiculous amount of revenue streams, which allows you to give a lot more guaranteed money.

Like it's been said already in this thread, the worst would be with the Raiders. Al Davis. A crappy old stadium. Poor money supply. It's a recipe for failure.

Why wouldn't you want to be the GM of the Cardinals? We have tons of talent and are only a few players away from a playoff team.

the hardest area to improve is the o-line, and that is where the cardinals are the weakest. plus, that defense needs some significant reworking.

It needs some reworking, it's far from horrible. And OL isn't that hard to improve. The Jets went from having a bad OL to a good one with two draft picks. All we need is to get a franchise LT like Joe Thomas in the first, move Big to guard and get a center and our OL isn't looking too bad.
